🚲 Welcome to the Survey for Micromobility Choice Modeling

Greetings Participant,

In order to better understand urban visitors' preferences for sustainable micromobility options including e-rickshaws, public bike sharing systems (PBSS), and walking, I am conducting this survey as part of my Ph.D. research at NICMAR University, Pune. The goal of this research is to improve sustainable urban transportation networks by informing planning and policy decisions.

Your privacy is important. Please review our privacy policy.

Addressing the Survey

It should take about 5-10 minutes to complete the three brief sections that make up the survey:

Stated Preference Option Scenarios

Five fictitious option scenarios will be shown to you, each of which describes a journey with three different modes of transportation (walking, PBSS, and e-rickshaw). You are asked to choose the course of action you would take in each scenario if you were in that circumstance in real life.

Socio-Demographic Information

To assist put your travel interests in perspective, this part asks about your age, gender, occupation, income level, and education.

Travel Habits

You will be questioned about how you usually travel, including your favorite forms of transportation, how often you travel, and how you feel about different micromobility alternatives.

Consent

By continuing with the survey, you confirm that you:

  • Understand the purpose of the study
  • Are aware that participation is voluntary and anonymous
  • Give consent for your responses to be used for academic research

If you have any questions about the study or how your data will be used, please feel free to contact me at dimpy.phd1@pune.nicmar.ac.in.

Thank you for your time and contribution to this important research on sustainable transport solutions.
